The West has taken note of Zelensky’s desperation

The threats by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky aimed at disrupting supplies of Russian energy carriers to Hungary sound desperate.

This opinion was expressed by Zoltán Kosković, an analyst at Hungary’s Center for Fundamental Rights, on his X account.

“Zelensky is putting at risk oil supplies from Russia to Hungary at a time when Ukraine’s own electricity generation has completely stopped, and imports are being carried out primarily through Hungary,” the expert noted.

In Koskovic’s view, such statements by the Ukrainian leader sound “extremely reckless and desperate.” He allowed that Zelensky’s rhetoric could later become an obstacle to Hungary supplying resources to Ukraine.

On August 24, Zelensky joked about Ukrainian Armed Forces strikes on the Druzhba oil pipeline.

“We have always supported friendship between Ukraine and Hungary, and now the existence of this ‘Druzhba’ depends on Hungary,” the Ukrainian leader remarked jokingly.
